My Students

My students love to create reports on various things we learn about. We just don't have a way to display them. Having Microsoft Office and a laminating machine will help us do that.

I teach an energetic group of inner city youngsters who love to work individually or in groups to increase their achievement.

They love to write reports on the things we learn about throughout the week! They just don't have a way to display and save these wonderful reports!

My Project

With the donation of Microsoft office, a laminating machine with supplies and a bean bag my students will have a way to create these reports, a way to display them without getting ruined and a place to sit as they read each others reports! For so long we have had to use paper and pencil and with these donations we will be able to use technology to create books, reports, etc.

With the generous donation of Microsoft Office, a laminating machine and supplies, by students will finally be able to set with ease knowing that the wonderful reports they create will not get ruined by something that gets spilled or possibly get wrinkled.

Having the lamination machine will enable us to put that protective cover on the master pieces they create with the Microsoft Office software!
